- Administrative/biographical history:
- This was established in 1932 as a leadership body for all labour organisations in the region’s territory, pursuant to the edict of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsIK) and Ukrainian SSR Council of People’s Commissars that established regions. From 1934 on, after the liquidation of the People’s Commissariat of Labor, it dealt, along with labour-organising and cultural-educational operations, with occupational safety, social insurance, salary regulation and rate-setting, collective bargaining, and organising workers’ professional advancement training. It was elected at a conference of labour unions, and directed operations of labour organisations through corresponding sectoral committees of labour unions. It answered to the All-Ukrainian Council of Labor Unions. Liquidated in 1938, it renewed operations in 1948.
